    I totally agree with that comment. How annoying!!!!!

  • Anonymous commented  ·   ·  Report

    Everything that was in the above comment plus, if I inadvertently see who the ad is for, I make a note of NEVER buying that product. AOL used to have ten parts of news and then changed and changed until we not must slough through seventy-one many of which have been there for months. I have nearly stopped clicking on any because it takes so long to load and then has the sentence or two with ads and NEXT. I am dropping my AOL membership which I have had for twenty-five years. Talk about cutting off your nose to spite your face. AOL has done a wonderful job of doing that. I hope the few cents you've gleaned for those terribly intrusive ads is worth it.

    How about telling stories without the NEXT PAGE.....So annoying....

  • MICHAEL GILL commented  ·   ·  Report

    While trying to read a story on Trendchaser, those fu-n video ads kept flopping around in the lower right hand corner. Those **** things just run continuously even after trying to close them out. Trendchaser is famous for this. I guess they don't give a hoot about the readers.

    I'm attempting to read an article but it's impossible. Because of the popup ads in the bottom right hand corner, and the ads on the top of the article, I can only see two lines at a time. Ridiculous and I'm sick of paying good money for AOL. Gold is a joke!

  • kj commented  ·   ·  Report

    The only hope for fixing the click next debacle is to stop reading the article. I absolutely refuse to go through the "next" bulls**t any more so I absolutely do not read the aol articles.

    I would refuse to pay for add free news. We are already paying for this horrible program and you can get the news for free at many other places that do not have all these ads and pop-ups. So why would you be willing to pay more?.

  • Anonymous commented  ·   ·  Report

    I would be willing to pay more for ad free content.

    Currently i don't even bother to look into subject content because I am frustrated from being dragged thru countless ads, other people tell me the same.

    Do your add clients even realize this?

  • John Hinckley commented  ·   ·  Report

    Why the sudden surge in ads that cover the right 2/3 of the page content and have no "x" to turn them off? Don't you folks know that when an ad covers up a story, nobody gets to read the story?

  • Tom Barnes commented  ·   ·  Report

    I am very, very annoyed by th AOL paid advertisements and want them eliminated from my Welcome Screen.

  • Mike F commented  ·   ·  Report

    AOL Gold is the worst ISP on the internet, overloaded with inane ads where you have to click page after page to read one sentence. The ad policy is absolutely ludicrous today, AOL has been ruined.

  • DANIEL TERRY commented  ·   ·  Report

    Too many ads, too many clicks, I have stopped reading the stories.

  • Jim commented  ·   ·  Report

    stop dominating the reading pages with aggressive adds that no one reads. I try to x them ou as soon as I can

  • MICHAEL GILL commented  ·   ·  Report

    I'm trying to read a series on trend chaser and those damnable big ads come plowing in the bottom right and hop around. Do you guys get your jollies by trying to see how many ads you can have flopping around the screen? I don't know why I even attempt to read one of those. I don't think I've ever gotten to the end of one yet. Those stupid ads are very distracting.

  • Lane Trussell commented  ·   ·  Report

    You seem to be spending way too much time deciding on a new culture for AOL. The choices seem to be:
    1. Liberal forever
    2. Beat National Enquirer
    3. Why post an item with one click when 20 meaningless, time wasting clicks will help get more advertising revenue.

    I can ignore 1 and 2 by just skipping over them. I will ignore 3 by simply not signing on to AOL and moving my business elsewhere.

    One of the most annoying thing you do is the damned popup ads. If a person move the mouse just the slightest bit an ad pops up. Not off to the side, above or below but right in the middle of what a person is reading. If I am selecting the next frame of an article an ad will jump in front of the courser as I select the next part of the article. Very annoying. I have gotten to the point of using another browser to avoid the damned ads. MY GOD! STOP THAT ACTIVITY! I am using another browser. I am done with this ****. It has gotten ridiculous.

  • JAMES WIEGAND commented  ·   ·  Report

    If you don't want us to read your articles say so. They can't be read with the AD's popping up all the time. Guess you are forcing us to get our information elsewhere.

  • ROY LASRIS commented  ·   ·  Report

    Not sure I understand what AOL is doing here. Are you just providing a space where people can vent, or do you take feedback seriously with an intent to at least respond to it in a reasonable fashion? You have 274 votes and 183 comments as of this writing. What does it take to get a response from you, AOL?
